HC Deb 15 May 1989 vol 153 cc51-2W
Mr. Pike

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what percentage of industrial workers in the north-west earn less than average industrial earnings.

Mr. Lee

The latest available information, for April 1988, relates to full-time manual employees in the north-west, on adult rates of pay. The estimated percentage is about 58 per cent., broadly similar to the figure for Great Britain as a whole.
